Press SeX to Continue – thriXXX (NSFW)

Welcome to the kinky corner of Ready Up. Here we can relish in the naked form, both male and female, and what better person to guide you than me. Zoey at your service. Your resident sexpert both in and out of the virtual world. Some companies are a little shy when it comes to sex, giving us little hidden fragments whilst trying to pretend they gave us nothing at all, others like to shout about it from the rooftops, whilst naked, and still wearing handcuffs from the night before. A little known company called thriXXX has firmly categorised itself as one of the later. For over a decade they have been building up quite the catalogue of sex games and are the self-proclaimed “future of adult gaming”. They may well be right.

Starting in 2002 with 3D Slut, the majority of their catalogue are sex sims with different kinks and preferences, but what makes them stand out is the level of detail in customisation. This isn’t a game where sex is available if you modify, like Second Life or The Sims, this is a game where there is nothing else. Whilst the gameplay is largely the same across the series, they have tried to cater for all tastes over the years including titles such as 3D Sex Villa, Hentai 3D, 3D Gay Villa, 3D Lesbian and Fetish 3D.

Most recent release, 3D Sex Villa 2, brings together aspects from all their previous titles to make a one stop shop for all your sexual needs. Although this does mean you lose some quality in lesbian positions and some other areas the overall product can’t be argued with as it does allow you to mix it up without having to switch games. Sex Villa contains a hefty catalogue of items for you to personalise your characters, positions, sex toy collection and environment. If that wasn’t enough there is also a community library in case you wish to get creative yourself, or just find something more specific. You’ll find the characters make very convincing porn star-esque noises and will even make requests if they feel like changing it up.

But here’s where it gets really impressive. Not content with being just another sex sim, Sex Villa has all sorts of clever coding to make sure you are getting the closest thing to a real fuck. With a little effort you can hook up your PC to your Kinect. Yep, that’s not a typo. Attach your Microsoft peripheral and it’ll track your hand movements whilst you grab some boob, have a spanking session or even use something from your toy box. It really brings new meaning to the phrase “Better with Kinect”. Speaking of toys, why not hook them up too?! That’s right, you can also purchase real life sex toys to be hooked up to your PC via USB and used in game. If you hook up a fleshlight then the girl’s will moan in time with your thrusts, in an impressive display of what can really be done with technology if you put your mind to it.

The whole experience really comes together seemlessly with a combination of story mode, with goals (such as give a girl a 100% orgasm) to complete to earn sex coins, and free play where you can run wild with your unlockables. The challenges involved to earn your coins mean there is a level of gaming satisfaction as well as sexual satisfaction. If you are after a fantasy sex experience without leaving your gaming chair then this is definitely one of the best available.

Join me next time as we continue our journey into the world where sex and video games collide. And remember: it’s not demeaning or empowering, it’s just hot.
